Does Latent Chain-of-Thought Actually Reason? A Single, Unifying Taxonomy for Latent Reasoning

Jingjie Qiu, Sheldon Yu, Xunyi Jiang +6

Latent chain-of-thought replaces written reasoning steps with continuous hidden states, giving models additional steps to compute before answering. It remains unclear what computat…

Failure Is the Mother of Success: Recovering Supervision with Grounding Hindsight

Sheldon Yu, Tong Yu, Nikki Lijing Kuang +6

When every rollout for a problem fails, GRPO receives neither a successful exemplar nor a nonzero group-relative advantage, so it learns nothing from exactly the problems it most n…
